Bronchial asthma often can be combined with autoimmune thyroiditis, and both diseases are linked with the immune system dysfunction, although via different pathogenetic mechanisms, but intermingled. In this study the clinical course of bronchial asthma, respiratory function, immune and hormonal status in patients with bronchial asthma and autoimmune thyroiditis were compared to those in patients with pure bronchial asthma without thyroid disease. Along with the marked changes in cellular and humoral components of the immune system, clinical observations showed that the addition of autoimmune thyroiditis to bronchial asthma worsens asthma course: it leads to an increase in the frequency of exacerbations, shortening the duration of remission, a significant decrease in the flow rates of МEF50 and МEF75 compared with isolated bronchial asthma, probably, related to myxoedematous component of bronchial conductivity impairment.
